We loved our day with Kevin! Prompt pickup, safe driving, lots of great scenic detours and local knowledge. The lunch and tasting at Sea Cider were excellent, and Kevin surprised us with a gin tasting in Sidney at the end of the tour. Above and beyond our expectations! Highly recommend.

These gardens are not to be missed! Absolutely gorgeous. Caution to those who will push wheelchairs-it is extremely difficult to push the chairs up and down the uneven grounds.

Mark is a wonderful guide—engaging, knowledgeable and flexible with your schedule. Riding in a Tesla was an extra perk to the tour. The Butchart Gardens are the most impressive garden that I have ever seen.

Es un lugar súper tranquilo, casi no había gente. y cualquier rincón dentro del jardín es perfecto para tomarse las mejores fotos. No es necesario contratar guía, ya que la visita desde que entras puedes tomar los caminos que tu desees sin peligro de perderte. vale mucho la pena si visitas Victoria.

Si vas a Vancouver, aparta un día para visitar victoria. Debes buscar BC Ferries , para ir en ferrie. Aunque también hay opciones de ir en hidroplano.
Estando en victoria, busca los tours a Butchart garden. Cuesta al rededor de 30 dólares canadienses la entrada.
Vale la pena!
